The Center for Conflict Resolution, Inc. (CCR) has
been a resource for the Delmarva community since it's inception in the early
1990's. We strive to address conflict in the service of social change. Our
overall aim is to replace adversarial and violent modes of resolving conflict
with peaceful, collaborative processes and techniques. CCR provides tangible
ways for individuals and groups to communicate constructively, thoughtfully and
compassionately. We seek to enhance cooperation among people in conflict so that
they see their mutual involvement and responsibility. We wish to assist in
meeting the needs of all people in our community. We offer a wide range of
training programs, seminars, and mediation services to the Delmarva Community.
